MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is a very quiet demand for discount accom, modation, owing to a general idea that a reduction is about to b 3 made in the minimum of the Bank of England. First class bills are negooiable at 81 per cent., and, in some instances, even at lower quotations, The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday Comprised an inflqx of 17,000 in bar gold, and the withdrawal of 55,000 sovereigns for Alexandria. Tbere was no material alteration in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon, but the tendency Was downwards. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £156,215, and the exports to £231,200 The following remarks upon the money market during the week are from Messrs. J. Travers and Bon's circular : " It was expected last week that a reduction of the rates of discount both of the Bank of England and the Bank of France would be announced at next meetingsof those establishments. The anticipation, however, has been only half fulfilled. The Bank of France has reduced its rate from 8 per cent. to 7, but the Bank of England has maintained thecharge of 9 per cent. As the bullion of the latter establishment pre sews a further increase, and its last weekly account is of a 2 1 gener ally favourable character, this maintenance of the 5 present extremely severe terms has created some surprise. It is urged that the pressure on the Continent, especially in Spain, Italy, and Holland, constituted the main, if not the 81 only reason for it; but the action of the Bank of France, t which would bo much more liable than the Bank of Eng- sl land to bo directly affected by a drain to the countries just 2! mentioned, has shown that in Paris no rigid precaution is 8 on that soon considered necessary."

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. :Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Chan nell, and Pigott.) ELTREY V, THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAIL- WAY COMPANY. Mr Edward James, Q,C., in this case moved for a now trial. The case was heard last term, when a verdict was given for the defendants, and that verdict it was sought to sot aside. The plaintiff, it appeared, was in the employ ment of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Com• pany, and in October last year he was acting in the capacity of guard to a train of waggons going to Dover. There were three other guards in charge of the train, which had to detach and leave three trucks at Farnham. Two of the trucks w e re safely separated from the train, but in placing the third the " sprag," used to stop the speed of the waggon, broke, and very se verely injured the plaintiff's knee. At the trial Mr Bovill contended the company was not liable, inasmuch as the sprag was not used by their direction. The defendant contended that there being no break attached to the truck, it was impossible to stop it without using the aprag, which defendant said he was ordered to do by direction of his superior officer, The learned counsel forcibly insisted that it was the duty of the employers of the plaintiff to provide him with materials with which he was to perform the work, and if they proved defective then they were liable for the consequences. The Lord Chief Baron said he agreed with the learned counsel to a certain extent, but if those materials were not supplied, then he thought it was the duty of a servant not t) do that which might result in danger. Mr, James said the plaintiff had been clearly told by the superior officer to use the sprag, and had he not done so he would have had to disobey orders and stand the conse quence of the truck going on, and perhaps causing serious consequences to passenger trains. The Court, after hearing the learned gentleman at great length, thought the verdict ought not to be disturbed. Rule refused. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING-, INOVEMBER 5, 1861. QUEEN'S BENCH. Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and Justices Cromp ton, Blackburn, and Mellor.) Mr Digby Seymour, Q.C., occupied the court some time this morning with an application for a new trial in a case which had been heard by Justice Blackburn last term. The action was brought by the : ; mother of a boy who had entered the service of the defendant, who was a carpenter, and the proprietor of some very ex tensive sawing machinery. The mother stipulated when the boy first entered the service that he should not be called upon to attend or go near the machinery. This was agreed to, and the boy for some months was engaged in running errands and other trifling matters. After he had been so engaged for nearly 12 months, ho was one day attending to a certain portion of the machinery, and in endeavouring to remove some obstruction from it while in motion his arm was unfortunately Brawn into it, and so severely injured that amputation became necessary. The mother brought her action, and ample damages were awarded, but it was now sought to set aside the verdict by a new trial. The Court was of opinion that the mother was wise in her stipulation that her son should not go near the machi nery ; but as he had, and that with the knowledge of his employer, he was responsible for the consequences, and therefore the previous verdict must stand. DIVORCE COURT. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) CHETWYND V. CHETWYND. This morning Mr Muluck again addressed the Court, and said ho would comply with his lordship's order, and pay the costs according to his decree. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN.

There was a butcher out, G—d d— me, ma'am, a great big fellow, 16 stone, six feet two inches without his shoes, and the bully of all Brighton. He over-rode my hounds several times, and I had spoken to him to hold hard in vain. At last, G—d d— me, ma'am, he rode slap over my favourite bitch Ruby. I could stand it no longer, but jumping off my horse said, Get down, you d— rascal, pull off your coat, none shall in terfere with us, but you or I shall go back to Brighton more dead than alive.' G—d d— me, ma'am, I threw off my coat, and the big ruffian, nothing lotlr, did the same by his.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SCENE IN THE HATMARKET.—John Branet, a cab driver, badge 15,347, was charged before Mr Yardley with being drunk and incapable of driving his cab, and also with assaulting police - constables Yeo, 316 A, and Pratt, 311 A. Yeo said—At five minutes to one this morning I saw a cab standing in front of a public-house, no one attending to it. Seeing the defendant some minutes after wards come out of the public-house, I asked him if the cab belonged to him, and he said, " What's that to you." Two gentlemen came out of the house, and as they were about getting into the cab I saw that the defendant was drunk. I, therefore, re fused to let the gentlemen get in, and the defendant then struck ma a blow on the head which knocked me down, and it took four of us to take him to the station. Mr Yardley—Did the defendant hurt you P Yeo— Yes. j Defendant—l did not mean to do it. I had taken up two "swells" in Princes-street, City, and they gave me some ale. Oa coming out of the pubiichouse the constable said I had left my cab unattended. I said I had not. My " swells" then came out and asked me to go on, but the con stable would not let me, and my " swells" then said the cab man was nobody. What made the policeman savage was because I called him a fair man, and said I did not like fair man. Mr. Yardley—Constable ; did beingcalled a fair man irri tate you ? Constable—Not at all, sir. Defendant—All the contables—four of them—struck me. Mr Yardley—l do not see aoy marks about you. Thos. Pratt, 311 went to the assistance of Yeo. I persuaded the defendant to go quietly, and he then struck me a blow in the mouth, and then threw himself on the ground, and while I was stooping to pick the defendant up a man caught hold of my legs and threw me a regular summersault. It took four of us to get the defendant to the station. Mr Yardley fined the defendant 20s, or 8 days. Louis Muller, pastrycook at the Burlington, in Regent street, was next charged with assaulting the police. Austin, 188 C—l was looking after the cab in the last case, when I saw the defendant go up to Pratt, 311 A, who was stooping to pick up the cabman, and seize him by the legs and turn him heels over head. I then took him into custody, and while on the way to the station, passing through Jermyn-street, defendant put his leg between mine and threw me, and then ran away, I pursued him, and ho was taken into custody and to the station. Pratt, 311 A—l was thrown heels over head, and my back was hurt. Mr Y ardley—Tho defendant might have done the con stable serious injury. He has been guilty of an imperti nent interference with the police while in the proper exe cution of their duty. A witness from the Burlington gave the defendant a good character as a quiet and decent man. Mr Yardley—The defendant has got a degree of strength which, if used or abused as it was last night, might become a dangerous acquisition. But for the character the defend ant had received I should have sent him to the House of Correction. I shall fine him 40s or 14 days. Samuel Ilardcatle, of 53, Brunswick -terrace, Dover-road, traveller to a wholesale cheesemonger, was charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Thomas Pratt 311 A. Pratt—About two this morning the defendant called at the station and asked to see the inspector. He saw the in spector, and on coming out of the room the defendant said to me, " Oh, you are the -- who locked up my cabman," and then struck me a violent blow in the face. Yeo, 316 A, corroborated Pratt. Inspector Walker—The defendant came into the inspec tor's room and demanded to know why the cabman was locked up, and said the cabman was not drunk, and that he would see the cabman before he left. He told the re serve man to see the defendant to the door, and shortly after the defendant was brought in for assaulting the constable. Defendant—l did not make use of the expression. 1 did not strike the constable, but I might have put my hand on him. Mr Yardley-1 think the defendant's conduct very bad, it showed spite. I shall commit him for seven, days, with out a fine. The defendant seemed much surprised at the result. THAMES, TRIMS or BENEFIT SOCIETIES.—A poor woman named Madden, the wife of Henry Madden, made a complaint against the Sons of Hope Benefit Society, held at the Bank of Friendship public-house, in Bancroft-place, Mile-end road. Her husband joined the society on the 4th of April last. He was then in good health. On the 12th of June he was removed to Colney Hatch Lunatic Asylum on a medical certificate of his insanity. One of the rules of the sccioty declared that members were to be free in six months, and in sickness to ba allowed 12s per week. She had paid up all the contributions, and they were received with the full knowledge her husband was insane ; but when she applied for the sick allowance it was refused. She was promised the money she had already paid in to the society, and that was refused. The last time she went to the club-house she was insulted, and told there was nothing for her. She respectfully submitted she was entitled to 12s. per week while her husband was ill. She had three young children to maintain, and was in great distress. . . Mr Pagot said the " Sons of Hope Benefit Society" was not enrolled and registered, and he had no jurisdiction in the case. Ho recommended the applicant to go to the County Court of the district and ask for a summons. WESTMINSTER. A POOR WIDE'S COMPLAINT.—A very creditable-looking middle-aged woman, who appeared much distressed, applied to the magistrate for his assistance under the following painful circumstances. _ Applicant said that she and her husband, who was a poor hard-working man, lived at the Model Bui.dings, Pye-streat, where a circumstance had occurred which had thrown him upon his back and deprived her of the means of subsistence. Her husband, without the least provoca tion on his part, had had bis leg broken by a woman at those lodgings. Applicant and the woman had had a few words about household matters. Afterwards, upon her hus band entering, the woman rushed upon him, seized him by the hair of the head, and dashed him down on the ground as a butcher would an ox, by which his leg was broken. Mr Selfo inquired where her husband was. Applicant replied that he was in the hospital, and she wanted redress against the woman who had inflicted the injury, Mr Selfe observed that he supposed it would be some time before he could leave there. Complainant replied it was a very sad affair. Her hue band's leg had been set on Wednesday, but it had been fuund necessary to break it again. It would of course be some time before he could recover, and she heard this woman was a very slippery person, and feared she would be off un less the magistrate granted a summons or a warrant against her. Mr Selfe said applicant had better wait till her husband was wall enough to attend the court himself. Applicant repeated that the woman might then be gone away. Selfe raid she must keep her oye upon her. He did not like to issue a process against a person by which they must be detained for a length of time in custody. Applicant must wait till her husband could come. THE CANADTAN CONFEDERATION AND THE CA. Some time ago, says the Index, French published in Montreal, printed Ta an opposition p I o C s C t RO ' Y several letters purporting to be written by a cure. The Roman Catholic bishop of the diocese caused his secretary to address a letter to the editor, calling in question the alle gation that they had been written by a priest, and convey ing an intimation that the bishop desired the clergy under his charge not to interfere in politics. This was a piece of clerioal diplomacy. the real meaning of which was that the bishop did not desire hts priests to write in the sense his cure, real and pretended, had written, It is understood that the Roman Cafhol i c hierar chy as a body have resolved to take a quiescent po sition in th e meantime until the project is introduced, when th e y willntinaeyetteancdonpsriodneoreudncseuffiexeciean4htley of the elections in about influencetwo nfaadtea constituencies.

SAD BEREAVEMENTS IN A FAMILY.—WhiIe a girl, aged nine years, daughter of the late Mr. Blake, farmer, of Landrake, was ou Friday last riding in a cart at Penquite, Menheniot, Cornwall, the horse took fright, and the trap was upset. The girl was thrown out violently, and, falling on her head, was killed instantly. This is the third accidental death in the family within six months. The father of the deceased was thrown from a gig at Notterhill five months ago, and killed on the spot. Since then one of his sans died from injuries received owing to the ignition of some gunpowder, which he was carrying loose in his trousers pockets.

It is asserted that contracts for the mortgage of the crown lands have been concluded with the Credit Mobilier in conjunction with coma other credit institutions. The report of the committees upon the bill for the transfer of the capital to Flora nee, brought in by Signor Mosca in the Chamber of Deputies yester'. day, states that the principal object of the convene tion was to put an end to the French occupation of Rome. The national aspirations would not be satibfiee by the convention—but it would prepare the way for thtir fulfilment by the farce of un avoidable circumstances. By the convention the Italians are constituted the guardians of the prin iple of non-intervention in reference to Rome. The report rejects the doubt that that principle would not be clrried out loyally, and states that for the present the convention may possibly cause an increase in the expenditure. The transfer of the capital is an act of home policy, and is the cause and not the object of the stipulations of the convention. The report further states that the committee have had regard of the different positions of the contracting Governmente, and believe every decla ration or principle to be both perilous and uselese. In conclusion, the adoption of the bill, as pro. posed by the Government, is recommended. TURIN, Nov, 4, Evening. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Finance made his statement, ac cording to which 200,000,000 lire were required for the public expenditure to the end of 1864. The Minister did not intend to propose any fresh loans until the financial position of Italy had consider. ably improved, He announced an immediate re duction of 60,000,000 of lire in the public expendi. Lure, 42,000,000 of which will be introduced in the naval department. The Minister further stated that still greater reductions will be effected by means of the funda mental laws of the kingdom. To cover the deficit of 200;000,000 the Minister proposed a bill to come into force prior to the 25th November, from which he expects an increase of 40,000,000 of lire in the proceeds of the tobacco, salt, and other indirect taxes. The Minister also asks for the approval of the Chamber to certain contracts in reference to the crown property, whereby at least 40 millions will at once accrue to the Treasury. He also requested that the landed property tax, to the amount of 124 millions, payable either in silver or coupons of the public debt, should be anticipated, and that autho risation to issue Treasury bonds to the amount of 36 millions of lire should be granted to him. Finally, the Minister announced that a bill would be communicated to the Chambers by which the King spontaneously renounces three millions of his civil list. (General applause from all parts of the house.) The following bills were brought before the Chamber of Deputies by the ministry to-day : A bill for the transfer in the public accounts of the sum of 1,067,000 lire of renter to the credit of the town of Turin, as indemnity for the change of the capital from there to Florence; for the transfer of the Court of Cassation from Milan to Turin in 1865; and also one to permit public companies to establish their head offices in other places besides the capital. The Minister of Justice stated that he will with draw the bill on ecclesiastical property, and bring before the house in another form. Signor Sella declared that the contract for the sale of the State railways had been accepted by the Ministry ; but that it would be difficult imme. diately to submit the bill to the Chamber for ap proval, obstacles having been raised by the con tractors, on account of the transfer of the capital. Tomorrow the Chamber will resolve itself into a committee for the examination of financial bills. Naval and Military Intelligence. The iron screw steamship Black Prince, 41, Capt. Lord Frederick 11. Kerr, and the ironcased screw steamship Prince Consort, 35, Capt. George 0. Willes, C. 8., went on Thursday from Plymouth Sound into Hamoazo to repair and refit. The screw corvette Cadmus, 21, 400 horse power, is still in the hands of the engineer department at Chatham-dock yard, in consequence of its having been found necessary to furnish her boilers with new tubes. This will detain her about three weeks longer before she is fit to go into the Steam Reserve. Her Griffith propeller has also been un shipped, in order that some alterations may bo made in her screw, the working of which on the occasion of her recent trial by the officials of the Steam Reserve proved exceed ingly unsatisfactory. The screw corvette Scout, 21,1,462 tons, 400 horse power, fitting for the first division of the Chatham Steam Reserve, has been selected by the Admiralty to hate her midship sides protected by means of chain cable, on a plan similar to that adopted by the American frigate Kearsage when in action with the Alabama. For this purpose, the corvette is to be fitted with eye-bolts for the chains in tho wake of her engines, and the necessary arrangements for carrying out the plan are to be made by the dockyard authorities, who are superintending the fittings on board the Scout. The Austrian screw steam-frigate Radetzky, 31, Capt. E. Bary, left Plymouth Sound on Thursday for Cadiz. The announcement of the appointment of Mr A. Moore, principal assistant-master shipbuilder at Chatham dockyard to be acting master shipwright at Devonport, previously to his being confirmed in that office, was made at Chatham yesterday, and was received with very general satisfaction. The name of his successor as assistant master shipwright at Chatham, has not yet been announced. On Thursday night about 10 o'clock a fatal accident Ns cured on board her Majesty's ship Supply, Staff Comman der Bawden, in dock at Woolwich. A corporal of marines, named David Buchanan, on duty on board the Supply, after having gone the rounds with the officer in charge for the night, left the lower deck with a lantern in his hand with the intention, it is supposed, of getting a drink of water in from the cooking galley in the forecastle. An able seaman and a lad who were walking the deck perceived the man go into the galley, but instead of doing so by either the port or starboard doorway he was seen to force himself through an aperture cut in the after part of the galley, and which is about 4ft Gin wide, used with benefit for the purpose of van tilation in warm climates. A very short time elapsed when the unfortunate man was seen to make his appearance out s'de the galley without his lantern, and to fall head fore most into:the bold, a depth of 19ft. One of the boilers had been removed for repair, and the hold had been carelessly left unguarded, a mere ledge of timber about 18in broad re • maining between it and the cookhouse on the main deck, and from which he fell over. Assistance was promptly given and the sufferer was removed on a stretcher to the Royal Naval Infirmary. He was carefully attended by Dr Salmon, Deputy Inspector General of Hospitals, and Dr Campbell, who pronounced the case hopeless. Besides various other injuries, the poor fellow had sustained a frightful wound at the back of his head sufficient to cause death, which hap pened at 2 a.m. yesterday. lie was a steady, temperate man and of good character. Col. Knox, C. 8., who has for some time commanded the 9th Depot Battalion at the camp at Colchester, is about to leave England for an important command in Japan. The testimonial to the gallant colonel from the officers of the 9th Depot Battalion, to which allueion,was made on Wednes day, has been presented. The Deputy-Adjt- General Col, G.

COURT.MARTIAL ON OFFICERS AND CREW On the re-assembling of the Court yesterday the follow ing evidence was adduced : Robert Gilpin, master of the Ringdove, said he was put in the sick list on the evening of the 17th of last May. After that he did not continue to keep the ship's reckoning. Ho told the captain he would assist and do as much as he was able. He last laid down the ship's position on the chart at noon on the 18th. Ho marked her position on the chart, but he made no reckoning that day. He marked her position from observations given him by other people. He had taken sights that morning at eight, but was too ill to work them. At six o'clock on the ISth he particularly requested that the course might be altered to SE , to stand in and take soundings on the bank. The commander for a long time was disinclined to do it. He spoke of the dan gerous coast, and the prevailing current, which was very uncertain and very rapid, and said the exact position should be obtained, if possible, before dark. At my suggestion the course was altered about 6 o'clock. I then left the deck, and I was very ill afterwards and unable to shape the course for the night or to give any advice. By the Court—When I was on deck about half past seven the vessel was stopped, and I heard the commander say, " If I don't get soundings I shall stand on for the night;" but I was too ill to attend to anything. I went to sleep, and have no recollection of waking again until the morning when she struck. I did impress upon the captain the necessity of making soundings to ascertain the true position of the ship more a dez en times between four and six o'clock. I did see the land on the morning of the 18th between eight and nine o'clock, and we stood on for the land till half-past 12, when it was clearly in sight. Had no recollection of taking bearings of the lend, and was not aware that they were taken. Did recognise the land. Hid no doubt as to the regularity of the chronometers under my charge. Had only been on board the ship about a fortnight, having been in hospital at Hong Kong for three weeks. Had opportunities of rating the chronometers after to the ship. On the morning of the 12th took 21 sights, the en• tries of which were contained in the book produced. The result of those sights were quite satisfactory. Had taken every opportunity to comet the variations of the compass between Hong Kong and the time I went on the sick list. It was not the custom to state how those variations arose in the log-book. The President—Have you any reason to doubt the cor rectness of the chart you were sailing by P—No, How do you account for the ship striking on that shoal, when, according to the reckoning, she ought to have been ten or 15 miles off had made an allowance of ten or twelve miles for a current setting to the eastward before making the land, on account of knowing the very strong currents of the coast and the irregularity cf their setting in. I told the captair, when I wished him to alter the course south-eas', that I was not positive of the ship's position within 10 or 12 miles, and entreated him to strike the bank for soundings, where the exact position of the vessel could Le ascertained before dark. This took place when looking at the chart a little before 6 o'clock. I found my impression of an easterly current running to the extent I have named was not correct, I had no opportunity of ascertaining the set of the current and its extent. I believe there was no current. I had only taken the precaution to make the land. I did not consider there was danger attending the persever ance in the south-east course until wo could obtain sound ings, supposing the soundings were taken every hour. Knowing our latitude at noon, and approximately at dark, by steering for the land, we could have ascertained her posi- tion exactly by soundings when we got on the bank. No ordinary current that might have been running would have rendered such a course dangerous. There was no reason to anticipate danger from the Collingwood shoal by pursuing such a course. There is no other shoal which would have been dangerous under such circumstances. I consider I was not doing duty after the ship struck only assisting, by answering any question put to me or giving any information. I believe the sights I took on the morning of the 18th were worked out by Lieut. Arundeli. I never thought of the sight when the ship's position was ascertained at noon—the latitude had been observed, it was a beautiful clew: day, land was fairly in sight, cross•bearings might have been taken at any mo ment, and soundings got on the bank to correct any errors. I was in my cot at the time. The latitude and longitude by which we laid down our position on the chart that day were the observed latitude and longitude, to the best of my knowledge. I worked no sights, I was told the latitude and longitude, and I put it down. I was anxious to see how far we had gone south, and that we were clear of shoals. I did not think about soundings till 4 o'clock, and then I spoke to the captain about it. His reason for not taking them then was that he did not like losing so much time. I answered that two hours was nothing where the safety of the ship was concerned. I did not point out to the captain that if the observations were correct we must have been in sound ings from noon until 6 p m. At 12 30 I said to the captain —" We may as well alter course, and steer SW. lam not sufficiently acquainted with that part of the coast to know the headland and remarkable points, and am not aware of any of the officers being so. Cross-bearings can be taken with certainty by persons not acquainted with the coast; the land is very remarkable." Had no doubt as to the cor rectness of the ship's position at noon. I never thought of it on account of the latitude, and knowing the exact position could be taken at any moment on the bank. It is usual, after being out of sight of land for some days, to verify the observations by bearings of the land and sounding, if to be obtained, &c. I should have done so if I had been able to move about, but I was suffering very much from dysen tery, and had little thought beyond myself atter the latitude had been taken, and the exact position could be depended upon by soundings or cross-bearings. I did not keep the chronometer journal from the time of leaving Hong-Bong ; I save it to the second master to keep. It was my practice to examine that journal daily, but I cannot say whether I did so. I either wound, or saw the chronometers wound, daily up to the time of going upon the sick list. Tho ship was at Hong-Kong for about a fortnight ; and as we were only going for a four days' passage we went to sea without having obtained fresh rates for the chronometers. The chro nometer " A," upon which I depended, was rated as gaining three seconds a day. From subsequent observations I have no reason to believe that rate was au erroneous one. If the entries made between May 23 and June 7 in the chro nometer journal show the rate to be losing instead of gain ing I cannot say whether the Court ;_s to infer that they are incorrect. I was not on board, but the chronometers might have altered wonderfully coming from Shanghae, where it was very cold, and getting into warmer weather-1 found the chronomers always gaining. I cannot say whether the position marked in the chart is that I gave to the captain as the position of the ship at noon on the 18th. To the best of my knowledge it is. I did not say the captain refused to stand in to strike the bank, I only strongly recommended him to do so. I did not work any ieckOning. I was merely doing my best in giving information. I can account for the difference of a minute in the chronometer A, as shown in my work and the chronometer journal. When the ship was on the reef Mr Jackson remarked that the chronometers had very much altered their rates, and had been jumping about a great deal. When the land was observed I had given up all responsibility of taking charge or doing anything at all, Mr Gilpin was cross-examined by Commander Brown and Mr Jackson at some length; but nothing material was elicited tending to contradict the evidence in chief. Mr Jackson was examined, also the quartermaster on duty when the ship struck, and the men on the look out. These men said they had been cautioned that night to look out for rocks and shoals and broken water ; thot they saw nothing until the ship struck. At daylight the rock was visible for about a mile ; and was from two to four feet above water. _ _ . The Assistant Surgeon proved that on the night the ship struck Mr Gilpin, the master, was on the sick list horn dysentery, and that be administered morphia. He was unfit for duty. This closed the prosecution. The Court asked the commander, master, and second master if they wished to make any additional statements, or if they required time. The reply was in the negative. Testimonials were then read, produced by Commander Brown and Mr Gilpin. _ _ _ PORTSMOUTH, Friday. The Court-martiial closed this evening, when the com mander was reprimanded, and ordered to be more careful in future. The master was admonished for not having ascertained the proper state of the chronometers before leaving Hong Kong. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day, Market quiet but steady.
